I don't own the hunger Games. As requested by OTPLOVER. I will try to add more fluff. Lol.
Chapter 6: Finally
Finally, my knee is almost fully healed. And I'm allowed to walk on it. The only other thing I nee to watch out for is my shoulder, the doctor said it should be healed physically in a few days. But internally, they aren't so sure. Theria walks in the room with Peeta.
"Now Katniss, before you get up to walk-"
"Yeah, yeah. Make sure it's fully supported,"
"Yes, now, Peeta could you help her walk? Or at least get her up on her feet."
"Absolutely." Peeta takes hold of both of my hands and helps me out of the hospital bed and onto my feet.
I'm standing. After three days. Finally.
"Ok," he says, gently putting his arm around my sore shoulder, holding me upright.
"And in a few days you should be able to walk normally."
I hesitate,
"Should I walk now?" I ask Peeta.
"Ready when you're ready." He says.
I look back at him and smile. Then look down at my feet. I lift my leg up, and take one step. Then I take another. Before I know it, we are pacing back and fourth in the room although each step I take I hunch over inch by inch. I hear Theria laughing,
"What?" I say.
"You have no idea how funny you two look" then Theria continues to laugh. That's when I notice I am hunched over. A lot.
"Some nurse you are." I laugh. Peeta props me upright. I take another step but my step lands on Peeta's foot.
"Sorry," I say, and then I start chuckling.
"No problem." He says. He smiles at me as I continue laughing.
How could walking around in a room be so amusing?
Theria can't stop laughing. She stops laughing, and at this 'window of opportunity' she says something,
"I can't contain myself. I'll just go out into the hall and calm down." Then she bursts out laughing again while walking towards the door.
"Hey, Peeta." I say,
"Yeah?"
"Face me for a second." He lets go of my shoulder and stands in front of me.
"Step a few paces back," he does so,
"What are you doing Katniss?"
"Okay, okay. Now I'm just going to- step towards you," I say whilst taking a small step.
"Don't fall over," He says.
"I wont."
I'm only a step away from him. I take the step forward slowly, and then I sling my good arm around Peeta's shoulder
"At least I still have one good arm." I say. Then I pull him closer to me, one of his arms wrap around my waist. I tilt my head upwards a little bit. Making my eyes meet Peeta's,
"Hey, do you think anybody will walk in this time?" I ask,
"I think so. But I don't really care." He replies, and with that he leans in to kiss me, my lips already meet his before he leans any further. I close my eyes.
We stay there, for a good few minutes until we hear the door handle twist. Instead of pulling away I pull him closer to me, I don't really want anybody to ruin this moment right now. I open my eyes, to see who might be walking through the door, It's who I expected it to be, it's Theria. She pokes her head in then spots us, and bursts out laughing again. I wave her off with my free hand. She shuts the door, still laughing. Now I'm wondering, what's so funny? I pull away from Peeta just slightly, just so our foreheads touch.
"Theria won't stop laughing" I say,
"Must have been a pretty funny sight then"
"Yeah, Hey. Just changing the subject." I pause. "I love you"
"Awwww" I can hear the muffled voice of Theria through the door.
"A perfect way to ruin the moment!" I yell intentionally to the door.
"No way, I was just- Oh just get on with it." She says.
"Well." He says. "So do I."
I smile, but I feel my smile fade after the sharp pain in my shoulder. That brings me to my senses.
"My shoulder. Is being a pain." I say as I pull away from him.
"Hey, let me help you back."
"Thanks," I say,
He walks me over to my hospital bed, and sits me down on it. He props a pillow up to support my shoulder.
"Is it safe to come in yet?"
"I don't know. You tell me, have you stopped laughing?"
"Yes. Maybe."
"Come in then, my shoulder has begun to act up again,"
"Oh, one second let me go get your painkillers."
After a few minutes, Theria is back with the painkillers. She gives me a couple of pills and a glass of water. I swallow both of them separately, and then I wash it down with the water.
"Better?" she asks.
"Better."
Theria smiles, and takes the glass from my grasp.
"So, about Peeta's, flashbacks." I start,
"Oh yes. We have already gone to see the doctor. And he has received his medication. He will only have to take these for approximately a year. Then things should gradually get under control."
"Brilliant." I say, "So when did you get them Peeta?"
"I got them yesterday. So I've started taking them now."
"Great."
"Hey, so how long until I can get out of this white house Theria?"
"Well, you're shoulder should be healing normally. So maybe two more days, so they can finish evaluating it."
"Two days…" I sigh.
"Hey, don't worry. At least you have this fellow with you," she says pointing at Peeta.
"You're right Theria. I should be just fine with Peeta here." I look at Peeta with a smile and he kisses me.
"-And me." Theria adds.
"Oh yes, you." I say with a smile.
